Forgive the opportunistic hijack, but has anyone had success getting the Electron version of Adobe Lightroom (CC) to work under wine? I DLL-hell'd it until I hit an ntdll unimplemented error which I figured is as far as I can go without becoming a wine developer.
All the wine versions i've tried throws a "error" windows installer error.
lists a bunch of commands.
This would be so much helpful for accounting professionals as this is one of the main proprietary accounting softwares running in india and it apparently requires windows. :-(
As a Wine user, experimenting with Wine versions, wine-staging, winetricks, and prepackaged wines like Proton is about the most you can do. I looked up BUSY on the AppDB, and it seems like other users haven't had any success either, so there's not much chance that it will work. Besides running the installed, you could also try running an already installed instance.
I think the comparison is more about memory overhead, startup time, open ecosystem, platform flexibility. Not being chained to Microsoft decisions when it comes to gaming down the road potentially.
I also get annoyed with keeping 10's of GB of vm's around. Although wineprefixes balloon in size pretty quick too.
Then there is backwards compatibility. Wine can provide more flexibility to support older OS's on the same code base.
I discovered that Wine gave me more headaches. It would be fantastic if Wine could identify the missing components and download them. I realized that using a virtual machine to boot into Windows was simpler.

Honestly vanilla wine sucks for compatibility now. All the other versions have way better support in my experience.

the download page incase you find it weird that they would package their installer in a rar file
What's the typical app that you run on Wine and makes you happier than if you were using Parallels? Any? Games?
